The slightly slender boy sat calmly and calmly on the huge White Moon Deer, which didn't make people feel that he didn't match him. On the contrary, his sitting posture should be taken for granted.

The young man's clothes were not gorgeous, they were stained with dust, and even one or two torn places could be seen.

He didn't wear any precious ornaments on his body, the only thing he wore was the white bow and the old quiver behind him.

However, there is no need for any complicated or redundant clothing to decorate, as long as he is there, people cannot ignore his existence.

The way he looked down at the crowd with those bright eyes was so natural, as if he should have been above the crowd, should have been condescending and bowed down to the ground.

——Even if the opposite is the king of this country.

When everyone behind him knelt down and knelt tremblingly, he was the only one standing on the ground riding a stag.

From a distance, it seemed that he was alone, confronting the king of Portoyas and the countless armored cavalry standing behind him.

After Mia uttered those words, the whole land was silent.

King David was silent.

He didn't speak, and naturally no one behind him dared to speak.

At this moment, the field is very quiet, only the rustling sound of the wind passing over the plain echoes in the sky.

The jet-black forehead swayed in front of his eyes, and there was not a long silence. King David closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he got off his horse.

He walked forward, behind him, the dark cloak was blown high by the wind.

When King Davie moved, almost at the same time, Mia also turned over and landed lightly.

He also walked towards King David.

The boy is still very young, and his face still has a little childlike childishness, like a green leaf that has just sprouted.

His eyes are also as clear as a child's, but there is no child's innocence and ignorance in his eyes, but a bit of sharpness that sees through the world.

He fixed King David with sharp eyes.

King Davie was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the boy's eyes overlapped with Yitit's.

He thought that he might now understand why Yitit chose this young man as his disciple.

Why does Itit love Mia so much.

She loves her so much that she even does not hesitate to tear herself apart from the crown prince and even herself for the sake of this child.

After that conversation, he never saw Itit again.

Itit didn't come to see him.

He also didn't want to see Itit.

On the surface, he was furious because of Yitit's presumptuousness and rudeness in front of the imperial court.

But deep down in his heart, he knew that the reason he didn't see Yitit was because Yitit pierced the most painful place in his heart, causing a trace of fear in his heart.

【Your Majesty, you are getting old. 】

The years passed relentlessly, taking more and more from him.

He didn't want to admit it.

Now, he has gray temples.

He began to lose energy, and his body became more and more sluggish.

King David looked at Mia.

Young teenagers are full of vitality, just like saplings that have just sprouted, with vigorous vitality and unlimited future.

He remembered that the first time he saw Mia, he lifted it out of the river with one hand.

When the wet child opened his eyes to look at him, he thought, this child's eyes are really pretty.

Clean and translucent, like a pair of azure sapphires without any impurities.

At that time, he saw his own reflection in the boy's bright eyes.

A majestic king.

A majestic and resolute warrior.

But now, after five years, he once again saw his own reflection in the young man's eyes.

Those eyes are still bright, but the person reflected in the boy's eyes...

A dejected loser.

An old king fading into the twilight.

……

In a daze, King Davie suddenly remembered the tip of the spear passing by his neck at that second.

He remembered the murderous eyes that Saldissen stared at him coldly at that moment.

He even clearly remembered the chill passing from the tip of the gun, penetrating his skin and seeping into his blood.

At that moment, the passing of death caused great fear to rise deep in his heart.

And when he reacted, the fear that filled his body made him feel even more ashamed.

In that battle, the reality that he was unwilling to admit was nakedly displayed in front of him.

【Your Majesty, you are getting old. 】

His children have grown up.

The wet child who was dragged up from the river by him had also grown up.

And he is old.

"Your Majesty, I'm back."

The boy standing in front of him spoke and repeated the sentence again.

Those eyes stared at him, not avoiding, just looking at him straightly and calmly, as if telling him his determination.

It was very similar to the eyes of Itit when he decided to go to the battlefield with him as an ordinary general many years ago.

King David still didn't speak, and there was no emotion on his face.

He looked at Mia, and then reached out to her.

Now, King David already understood how much weight this boy in front of him held in Sardis' heart.

For him, Sardis could tear himself apart with the crown prince without hesitation.

For him, Sardis can resolutely leave the royal city.

For him, Sardis even did not hesitate to make an enemy of his biological father who was King Portoyas——

King David's hand slowly reached out to Mia.

As long as this boy is in his hands, Sardis will no longer pose a threat to himself...

This thought flashed through my mind.

Realizing this, King Davie's hand suddenly paused.

He lost his mind for a moment.

This is... his idea?

How could he have such an idea?

He actually wanted to use a child to threaten his opponent?

……

Was he terrified of his own children?

Or had the battle not long ago completely crushed his arrogance and shattered his spine?

The heroic and fearless King David, who was once praised by the world, now...what a shameful appearance he has become?

Still tall, but already aged, the king closed his eyes to hide the sorrow in his eyes.

Black hair mixed with white hair was scattered on the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, revealing a trace of sadness on his face.

But, that was only for a moment.

A moment later, when he opened his eyes again, King David's hand fell on Mia's shoulder.

He patted Mia's shoulder lightly and said, "Just come back."

He looked at Mia and said, "Your teacher must be very happy."

His eyes moved away from Mia's face, and swept across the large group of Pangwei people kneeling on the ground behind Mia.

"I only found out about Pangwei City not long ago. I thought everyone in the city..."

He glanced at those who survived, showing relief in his eyes.

"Fortunately, you are here, so they survived."

No matter what King David thinks in his heart, but only this sentence comes from the heart.

Because the last thing he wants to see is the death of his people.

King David withdrew his hand.

"I will arrange for a team of cavalry to escort you and them to Shult City."

He says,

"Mia Shaoji, these people of Podojas entrust you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mia to answer, King Davie turned around and left.

Before returning to his mount, he got on his horse and ordered the chief guard around him to arrange to leave a team of cavalry and a sum of food for these people.

Afterwards, he set off south again with the army.

Until he left, King David never looked at Mia again.

He left in a hurry, as if fleeing from something in a panic.

And Mia stood still, watching King David leave.

His eyes were complicated.

Perhaps it was because he recalled the scene of the majestic yet gentle king apologizing to himself when he pressed his shoulder for the first time a long time ago.

At that time, what King Davies was...

And now...

After the army left, the kneeling people stood up and whispered.

At this time, because he was unwilling to kneel down and salute, Hidir, who had been hiding aside before meeting King David, also returned to the team.

He came to Mia, stared at the direction of the army leaving like Mia, and said in a low voice: "I see, the current King David is a little different from the time I saw him before."

Mia didn't look at him, but still looked at the direction the army was leaving.

"What's the difference?"

The red-haired thief frowned, pondered for a while, and then said: "I always feel that... I have lost a lot of energy... The power is not as good as before..."

He spoke a bit awkwardly, as if he didn't know how to describe it.

He shook his head, too lazy to think about it, and the topic turned directly to Mia.

"Having said that, I see that you can even talk to King David with ease. I feel that this is a very common thing for you."

Not even kneeling.

"Also, the old man who is the priest of the moon god is respectful to you these days." Hidir raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm really curious, what is your identity?"

The phoenix eyes were raised slightly, and he made unscrupulous jokes as always.

"I've been guessing for a long time, and I always feel that you are probably a prince."

Withdrawing her gaze, Mia looked sideways at him.

"Hahaha, just kidding, everyone knows that our king only has two sons, the crown prince and the third prince. If you are a prince, you should be an illegitimate child."

"........."

"What do you mean by looking at me like that? Could it be that I really guessed right?"

"..."

Mia didn't bother to talk to this unscrupulous guy anymore, so she turned around and left.

"Wait, hey, don't go, you are not really the illegitimate son of that king, are you really a prince?"

Hidir caught up and kept asking questions with great interest.

"If that's the case, you were almost killed at the time, did you want to kill you because someone discovered your identity?"

"I'm really curious. In this way, you tell me secretly, and I will never tell others."

Ignoring someone's nagging questioning, Mia took the Pangwei people and set off again, heading towards Schulte City.

The exact opposite direction from King Davies.

.........

...............

After a few days, the city of Portoyas, which experienced a small earthquake, has returned to calm.

In the palace, the crown prince and others have received the news that King David is leading his army back.

At the same time, they also learned the result of the battle in Schulte City.

"It seems that the father returned without success."

King David's battle not only failed to regain Shuerte City, but completely established the fact that Shuerte City no longer obeyed the king's city.

From then on, Sardis will be based on the city.

From now on, the heroic Northland Legion will become the subordinate of Sardis, and it may be difficult for Wangcheng to issue orders to the Northland Legion.

Pastor lowered his eyes and pondered for a while.

When he raised his eyes again, only indifference remained in his shadowy black eyes.

"In this case, from now on, stop the supply of armaments and food to Schulte City."
